Thoughts on the *BEST* Varient of the LG G4? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have owned 3, G4s, all Verizon Unlocked. VS986 variants. Im fed up with the Boot loader being locked unless you complete the dreaded unlock method of USU. I use ATT for phone service, so i was just going to pick up another G4 because I want the freedom of flashing ROMS with TWRP and etc....
After brief browsing I see each variant is slightly different in Its own way. I wanna know which variant of the G4 (you) think is the best?; (and a brief reason why! ) The one with the most xda dev/community support, the one with the most ROM options, etc etc.... And preferably compatible with the ATT network.
This list was pulled from another post on XDA I'm am not positive on its accuracy. But how do the common varrients hold up against the uncommon varients below? ( results due to MY location.: Pennsylvania/USA)
<Common Varients:>
*H810PR: AT&T
*H811: T-Mobile USA
*LS991: Sprint
*US991: USA
*VS986: Verizon
<UN-Common/Rare Varients>
*DS1402: ???
*F500K: KT Korea
*F500L: U+ Korea
*F500S: SK Telecom Korea
*H812: Telus Canada
*H815: Europe, Middle East, Africa
*H815AR: Argentine
*H815K: Australia
*H815P: Latin America, South Africa
*H815L: Israel
*H815T: Hong-Kong
*H815TR: Turkey
*H818P: Dual-sim (South Africa, Brasil, United Arab Emirated, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Eastern Europe)
*H818N: Dual-sim (China, Hong-Kong, India)
*H819: China
*KS1402/LGV32: ??? Japan (also called LG ISAI VIVID) ???

best is H815 that can be unlocked not all can be unocked..
or best is h811 tmobil. can be unlock with command.

815 international ( the Europe, middle east, Africa one your talking about )or 811 tmobile have all the ROMs and easy unlock

H811 is GSM so it should work on AT&T. AFAIK H815 is the only one to officially get Nougat outside of Korea.

Anyone try another baseband on T-Mobile Gnex?

Has anyone switched from the XXLF1 radio to another and seen improved results?

Everyone has different results with different radios. There's no perfect radio for everyone. If you think you're getting bad results with your current radio, then try other radios out and see.

I'm on T-Mobile. Recently switched from XXLF1 to UGLH1 with very distinct, consistent improvement in connection reliability. As mentioned, YMMV.

Check this thread.

I am on my third UG radio test; the UG radio is best for the USA it seems. The thread has many choices and great information.
Wait, I am confused. It says in the original thread that the UG radio is for canadian devices. I want to be clear on this: Will it really work for USA devices as well? I don't know much about radios on here (I still have a hard time wrapping my head around radios being some sort of coding rather than actual hardware.) But I would LOVE to boost data speeds somehow on my phone!!!

As long as it is not a CDMA radio it will work. XX is actually meant for Europe.

I have read every thread I can find on this. UG radios are for North America, XX radios for Europe, and so on. I am in California, and the UG radios have worked for better for me than the XXLF1 that came with mine from Google.

Last I knew, Canada was still part of the North American continent, but with global warming and plate tectonics, it could change, but not soon.

H815 Variants and Updates

So I am torn on what to purchase. Prices are dropping for some H815 variants, like the USA version that is essentially a very limited release. My question boils down to, since the H815 is considered international, will all variants be updated simultaneously? Or is there a strong possibly that a limited regional variant like the USA contest variants will lack support later on?
Is the USA h815 going to get the same updates the European h815 will?
Where is info on this "USA" H815? First I've heard of it.
The same variant that is being handed out for trials/contests in the USA are branded as H815 with USA country codes.

LG G3 D850 works On LTE In India & Middle East

Dear Sir,
I am going to Purchase LG G3 D850 US Version , Please Guide me Whether It works on 4G LTE and other networks in India or Middle east, Because i am an Indian while i am residing in Qatar.
Please help me i could purchase the Specified Model.
Awaiting your valued Reply....
Well, the D850 is a manufacturer _locked_ device that will work on that AT&T network only, in USA, unless you unlock it. Moreover, by design, the device supports out of factory only the radio bands that are necessary to operate on the AT&T network. Even if you manage to unlock the device to operate on non-ATT network, you still will run into issues with some bands missing. So personally, I wouldn't bother with the buying the D850 to use outside of USA or ATT network.. unless you have some solid proof that the D850 can be easily adapted to some other environment. I don't know abour Qatar, but I heard that the new Oneplus X smartphone is fairly optimal for using in India, and perhaps other countries. It has the same hardware specs as the G3.

North American model in Europe

I apologize for my ignorance but I figured someone with more experience could assist. I know there are specific models for the NA and Euro version but there are overlapping bands. Think it'll work in perhaps...Croatia if I were to be specific?
I was able to use my unlocked USA model OP1 in the UK, France, Germany, Austria, and Belgium with no issues so the OP3 should be fine for global use too.
What specific frequency bands are you looking for on 3G or 4G/LTE in Croatia?
it wont be a issue to use it, just will lack in some frequencies/bands which ultimately give it poorer reception and speeds
on previous oneplus one and oneplus 2, there was ways of unlocked further lte bands on the usa variant, as they all have the same processor, im sure this will be the case again, if anyone knows how ? please advise
cheers
